Most of this code has been ripped out from an old version of a DragonAde release, made by black-cell.
It's not very elegant either, it uses the filestream which I personally do not like because too much IO is the cause of most server lag. However, it does work, and it's a simple enough way to implement additional console commands (that are not really console commands at all) to the server.
Here is a movie showing the WIP of it.

Again, the site itself is still a work in progress, so please do not mind the errors and unfinished work.

Fucking std::.

It's always you lol
On a more serious note, why not use something a little more efficient... like named pipes, or maybe even a local socket connection?

Wow Reborn, that's pretty awesome! Will you be releasing the source? (knowing it's you, I'm sure you will  )
Only qualm with it is as you said, constantly polling the directory to see if that file exists could be quite slow... but hopefully that issue would be negligible.
Either way, very cool! 
|
Yeah, source will be included.
Yeah, the polling is not quite so elegant, nor is the face that it's using disk files either.

I dont get it.. Whats so awesome?
|
It could allow for allot of potential extra scope for regulators, amongst other things...

Yes, SK is always super helpful. Never have a beer with him, his glass is always half empty.
The first release will be using the file stream and disk files.
The second release will have additional commands that people might mention they would like, but specifically it will include a bunch of commands to get_ information, making it more useful...
i.e
getmaxarmor can be used first, then another command used after like setmaxarmor (so they can set the max armor based on a value received from the server about the object).
Finally the third release will likely use sockets, probably a TCP connection rather than named pipes so it can be done remotely rather than on the server. Dropping the disk file stuff and making it asynchronous too, all round more efficient.
However, the 2nd and 3rd releases will largely depend on how receptive bot creators are to it...

It will add a whole host of new commands for the server that can be executed by dropping a text file into the server directory, meaning that server owners could execute commands such as enablephysics for example on a GameObject, based on it's objectID. Another good example is the ability to attach scripts to objects through the text file...
That one command in itself is quite nice and has allot more scope than you might at first think...
You could use the bot to authenticate moderators by attaching a script to authenticated in-game moderators. This script then might add there player ID to a Vector and then all those moderator chat commands people make could then use a boolean conditional on them first, making sure the player executing the chat command is in the authenticated Vector (much much safer than the simple name check based on a mods.txt file we saw float about a couple of years back).
There's a shit tonne that can be done with just that one additional command that's added. I will endevour to add as many commands as possible, and while it will not allow for the bot to be as useful as directly coding inside the server API itself, it will deffinately allow the bot to become allot more dynamic than it currently is.
A more detailed explanation will come with the release, explaining what commands have been added, and how to use them.
Clearly this is better suited for a regulator to automate the process, so that this can be executed remotely from IRC. Adding much more scope for the regulators and what they are capable of. However, it could also be done by hand too (FTP to the server directory perhaps?), but in reality this will be useful mainly for bots.
